COVID-19 Workshop Guidance
​
Helping us all to stay safe.
​
Please read the guidance below to see what we are doing to keep everyone safe during our workshops.
​
We would like to reassure you that the safety of our practitioners and the students and staff we work with at schools and venues across the country is still our number one priority. Working with children means we follow strict hygiene protocols – we always have and we always will.
​
Booking With Us:
Workshop Themes With COVID-19 Adaptations:
​
Our workshops will no longer include COVID-19 adaptations or procedures unless you ask us to include them. However, if you would like to book a workshop that still includes COVID-19 procedures, this option is still available to you.
​
A selection of our popular workshop themes are still available with COVID-19 safety procedures in place. These workshops include changes to activities to reduce prop handling and to allow our practitioners to social distance. Please note: we cannot run workshops with students who are social distancing from each other.
​
We cannot guarantee that these adaptations can be put in place if we are not informed prior to the date of your booking. Please get in touch for more information.
​Cancellation Policy
​
If you can no longer host your event due to reasons relating to COVID-19, please let us know ASAP and we will endeavour to re-arrange your services to a new date. In the event that we need to cancel your booking due to COVID-19, we will endeavour to re-arrange your services to a new date.
​
Cancellation can be made no later than 7 days prior to the event without incurring a cancellation fee. If cancellation is made within 7 days prior to the event – date specified on your Workshop Agreement – the full cost of the event will be incurred as a cancellation fee.
​
Should the event be halted or cancelled due to circumstances beyond the Artists’ control (i.e inclement weather, complete or major power outage, accidents or any adverse conditions) every effort shall be made to arrange a new date for the workshop.
​
Our Visit To Your School:
Hand Wash Protocol
Our practitioners will wash their hands on arrival at your school or venue and on frequent occasions throughout their visit with you. Please ensure you inform our practitioners of the location of bathrooms or hand wash facilities on their arrival. All of our practitioners are supplied with hand sanitiser gel for use when required.
We recommend that all workshop participants wash their hands before and after attending the session and after handling props.
​
COVID-19 Measures:
​Our practitioners will no longer wear face coverings when visiting your school and running the workshop. Additionally, our practitioners will no longer social distance from staff and students whilst attending your school.
Please inform us of any COVID-19 policies or procedures in place at your school. Failure to inform us of any COVID-19 measures that may affect the running of the workshop (such as social distancing) prior to our attendance at your school may result in a shorter session run time or session cancellation. You will still be charged.
​
​​
It is important to note that responsibility for the Health & Safety of the students remains with school staff at all times throughout the session.
​
​We will regularly re-assess and update this policy in line with any changes made to government guidelines.
​
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Kind regards,
Laura & Adrian
